Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 細長い構造部材とその製造方法並びに装置 技術分野 本発明は一般的に細長い構造部材、特に海洋の杭工事に適した細長い構造部材 に関するものである。従来、海洋の杭は、鋼鉄、コンクリート又は木材で出来て いる。鋼鉄とコンクリートは非重に重く、高価で又、使用に耐える弾性を有しな い。特に鋼鉄は海洋の環境において腐食が早い、木材は腐食が早く、又、海の穿 孔生物の攻撃を受けその効果を減ずる。その使用寿命を延ばす為に、特に材料は クレオソートの様な防腐剤で処理される。然しながらクレオソートやその他の防 腐剤は環境に有害である。更に最近の森林保護努力を考えた場合、木材の杭を使 用する事は好ましいことではない。 プラスチック杭が提案されている。例えば、ボーザキアン(Borzakian)の米国 特許第5,051,285号明細書にはプラスチック杭用として適したプラスチック構造 部材が開示されている。鋼鉄パイプが型に置かれ、熱可塑性樹脂、充填剤及び添 加剤でコーティングされる。樹脂を冷却し生成したプラスチック部材を型から取 り出す。 この方法には多くの欠点がある。特に海洋用杭は用途によって長さが10から 80フィートまで径が3インチの小さいものまで変化するその結果、杭の生産者 は経済的に高くつくことになるがサイズの異る型を作るか又は1つの型を用いて 一定の長さ及び径の杭を作り縦につないで所望の杭を作るかのいづれかを行う必 要がある。 又、型を用いることは、製造され得る杭の長さを限定することになる。型の中 においてプラスチックは型を満たす全過程で流動 状態になければならない。構造部材の長さやサイズが大きくなると、その流動状 態を維持することが難しくなる。更にプラスチックの溶融物が細長い型の一方の 端から導入され少くとも10フィート離れている他の端で、金属の芯パイプに固 着する様にプラスチックのパイプへの接着をコントロールする事は難しいその様 な作られた構造部材は時間経過の異る溶融物の流れの界面で中空部分又は少くと も弱い部分を含むと思われる。 部材の長さは型のサイズで限定されるので、ボーザキアン(Borzakian)が開示 した構造部材は支えられた用途に必要な長さの杭を作る為には他の構造部材に連 結しなければならない。 従って耐食性又は防腐性があり、海洋生物を通さず側面の衝撃下で好ましい構 造上の完全法、弾性、強さを持ち、環境的に安全で且つ天然資源を保存する様な 杭の構造が求められる又種々のサイズの複数の型を要さずに所望のサイズが出来 又はいくつかの杭の断面を長さ方向につなぐことを要さぬ杭の構造についてのニ ーズがある。 発明の要約 従って本発明は従来の技術の制限又は欠点の為に生ずる1つ又はそれ以上の問 題を本質的に取り除いた細長い構造部材を提供するためのものである。本発明の 更なる特徴並びに利点は続く記述の中で説明され又その1部は本記述から明らか であろうし又本発明の実施によって判るであろう。本発明の目的並びに他の利点 は添付図面と同様、記述及び請求の範囲の中で特に、指摘する方法並びに装置に よって実現され達成されるであろう。 これらの又はその他の利点を達成するために又、本発明の目的に従って具体化 され又広範に記載されている如く、本発明は中心の縦軸、第1及び第2の端部、 1つの外表面、そしてプラスチッ ク体の中心の縦軸と実質的に平行の位置にプラスチック体の中に置かれた少くと も1つの補強要素を包含する。 他の局面において本発明は型に溶融プラスチックを連続的に押出す工程、少く とも1つの補強要素を型にフィードし補強要素がその型の縦軸と平行になる様に する工程、及び溶融プラスチックを冷却して、溶融プラスチックと補強要素があ らかじめ決められた断面を持つ構造部材に作る工程を包含する。 先の一般的記載及び次の詳細な記載は模範的且つ説明的なものであり、請求の 範囲に示された本発明についての更なる説明のためのものであることを理解され たい。 本発明の更なる理解のために又明細書に組み入れ又明細書の1部を構成し、本 発明のいくつかの実施を説明し、本発明の記載と共に本発明の原理を説明するの に役立てるために添付図面を含めた。 図面の簡単な説明 図1は本発明の細長い構造部材の具体化の断面図を示す。

サイズに形成することによって連続的に生産される。本発明は海洋用杭、電話杭 、鉄道の枕木等の多くの用途に適している。添付図面に説明のある本発明の好ま しい実施態様について述べる。 本発明の模範的な実施は、図1及び図2に示されており参照番号10で指示さ れている。 ここに具体化され、図1及び図2に示されている様に、細長い構造部材10は プラスチック体12を包含し、中心縦軸14、第1及び第2の端16、18及び 外表面20を有する。プラスチック体12は好ましくは、高密度ポリエチレン( HDPE)、低密度ポリエチレン(LDPE)、直鎖低密度ポリエチレン(LL DPE)、ポリプロピレン(PP)又は熱可塑性ポリエステル(PET)の様な 適した熱可塑性樹脂で出来たプラスチック・マトリックスであることが好ましい バージン又はリサイクルの熱可塑性樹脂を用い得る。リサイクル樹脂は入手し易 く、低コストであり、性能の点で好ましい。そのようなリサイクル熱可塑性樹脂 は消費者又は産業廃棄物から得られる。構造部材の性能を向上するために種々の 添加物を混合することが出来る。添加物としては抗酸化剤、着色剤UV吸収剤、 防カビ剤及び相溶剤である。充填剤は、必要なプラスチックの量を減らし、剛さ を与え、時には性能を向上する為に好んで添加される。充填剤としては炭酸カル シウム、 タルク、シリカ木材チップ、のこぎりくず、粉砕発泡スクラップ及び粉砕紙であ る。 プラスチック、マトリックスは好ましくはその密度を50〜70%減らす様に 発泡するのがよい。発泡はプラスチック・マトリックス中に1つ又はそれ以上の 化学発泡剤において行われる。化学発泡剤は押出機の中で熱と反応して、水蒸気 、二酸化炭素、窒素等のガスを発生する。典型的な化学発泡剤は良く知られてい る様に、例えばアゾディカーボンアマイド又はクエン酸と重炭酸ソーダの混合物 である。窒素ガス、二酸化炭素、アルカン、塩素化炭化水素のような物理発泡剤 も使用し得る。 図1、及び図2に示すように、複数の補強要素24がプラスチック体12の中 に、構造部材の中心縦軸14と実質的に平行に配置される。少くとも4つの補強 要素を用いるのが好ましい。補強要素の径と組成は所望の補強と耐食性を与える 様に選ばれる。 補強要素は好ましくは鋼鉄又はガラス繊維ロッドである。コンクリートの補強 に用いられるレバー(rebar)も使用出来る。鋼鉄レバーは比較的安価であり性能 が良い。耐食性を増す為に、ポリエステル(例えば3Mのスコッチコート)の様 な周知の保護コーティングで鋼鉄レバーをコーティングすることが出来る。 耐食性の至適化及び金属を含まぬ(例えばノンマグネティック)建設の為にプ ルトルード(Pultruded)ガラス繊維ロッド又はレバーを用い得る。ガラス繊維は ポリエステル又はビニルエステルのような熱可塑性樹脂のマトリックスの中に連 続的にプルトルージョンキャスト(Pultrusion cast)される。 補強要素24は構造部材が廃品化されたり切断されることによって環境にさら されることなく構造部材の強度と安定性にもっとも寄与する様なプラスチック体 の中の場所に置かれる。補強要素 は環境要素にさらされる可能性が無い安全な場所として構造体の外表面から少く とも1インチの所に置くのが好ましい。補強要素は又、図1に示す様に中央の長 手方向の軸心14の周囲に同心円状に配置されるのが好ましい。 構造部材はプラスチック部材の長さに沿って延びる中央の縦孔26を含むこと が好ましい。中央の孔は必要なプラスチックの量を減らし構造部材を地面にたた き込む水の噴出を杭として働らかせることが出来る。 図5に示す様に金属パイプ28を縦孔の内壁に取りつけても良いが中央孔や金 属パイプは本発明の実施に必須のものではない。 図3又は図4に示す様に、本発明の他の実施において細長い構造部材10がプ ラスチック体の外表面20上に形成される外皮層22を含む。外皮層は非発泡性 のプラスチック、マトリックスで構成され、これによって構造的保護的な外皮を 提供し、又全体の構造が発泡された場合よりもより低い密度にプラスチック体を 発泡することが出来る。外皮層のマトリックスには又プラスチック体の中に含め る替りに紫外線吸収剤、抗酸化剤又は防カビ剤の様な添加剤を含めることが出来 る。 本発明の細長い構造部材を製造する装置は図6及び図7に示す通りであり、押 出機50、型60、成型及び冷却器70、引抜器80及び切断器90を含む。更 なる冷却器95をプラスチック部材を更に冷却するために引抜器の前後に含めて もよい。細長い構造部材は押出機50に所望の樹脂、充填剤、添加剤及び発泡剤 の混合物をフィードして作られる。押出機は組成を溶融し混合し溶融物52を作 り、これが型60に入れられる。 図7は、型60の断面図である。それは、溶融プラスチックと補強要素を受け 入れる内壁部分61、中空の中央心棒62、押出 機50に連結した横の開口部及び供給装置(示されていない)によって型60の 内壁部分61の中にフィードされる補強要素を受け入れ支持するための中央心棒 62に平行な複数の出入口を持ったクロスヘッド型として示されている。若しも 外皮層をプラスチック体に作る場合には、その型の2番目の横の開口部68に第 2の押出機54を連結する。 溶融プラスチックが最初に型に入ると、内壁部分61をシールし溶融プラスチ ックを蓄積して型を満たし、冷却及び成型器70に入る前に予備的な形を与える ためにストッパー(示されていない)を用いても良い。ストッパーは構造部材の 最初の部分が冷却され、硬められるまで冷却及び成形器を通して一定速度で移動 される。 型の中に入った溶融体52は補強要素を、周み、外部から内部に発泡し外皮層 22に対し密な発泡を与える。構造体全体の強度に寄与する様に補強要素を至適 な補助を与えるために発泡密度は構造体の中心に向って低く、外表面付近でより 高いことが好ましい。発泡密度は構造体の長手方向の軸心に沿って実質的に均一 である。 中央の心棒によって構造材料の中心は中空に保たれる。中央の心棒を通して構 造部材の内側に空気を送り込んで冷却及び成形をよりよくすることが出来る。中 央の心棒は型及び冷却/成形器の長さ全体に亘って、図7に示す様に先細である ことが中央孔の形成を容易にするために好ましい。次いで中央心棒は導入パイプ 72及び導出パイプ74に水の様な液体を循環させることによって冷却及び成形 器70に亘る中心棒の部分に近いプラスチックを冷却し、中央孔を作る。中心棒 は摩擦を減らすために、テフロンでコーティングするのが好ましい。この場合に は、プラスチック 構造体は空気で作られた中央孔を有する類似の構造体よりも、中央孔の周りでよ り密度が高い。 押出された構造体は、形を維持するために真空を利用した冷却及び成形器70 で冷却し成形される。この冷却及び成形器は構造部材を所望の断面(例えば海洋 杭に対しては円錐、枕木に対しては直角)に作る前もって定められた断面の開口 部を含む管状の熱交換器である。 構造部材は型及び冷却及び成形器からカタピラー型引抜機の様な引抜機で一定 に制御された速度で引抜かれる。引抜機の速度はプラスチック混合体が十分発泡 する様に又型の中に発生する過剰なバックプレッシャーによって生ずる構造部材 の変形を防ぐ様に制御される。 構造部材が十分冷却されると、カッター90で所望の長さに切断する。 若しもプルトルード ガラス繊維ロッド又はレバーを補強要素に用いる場合に は図6に示したシステムは、図8に示す様にプルトルード ガラス繊維ロッドが 型60にフィードされる前に発泡させる為の付加的な部品を含む。型に入れる直 前でプルトルードガラス繊維ロッドを発泡させることは補強要素の貯蔵に要する 場所を減らし型に補強要素を連続的にフィードすることにより効率を増すことに なる。 図8に示す様に、ガラス繊維フィーダー100は夫々の繊維を樹脂浴110に フィードするためのリール及び紡錘を含む。リールの数は変えることが出来、夫 々の補強要素に1つ又はそれ以上の紡錘を備え細長い構造部材に入れられる様に する。樹脂浴110は夫々のガラス繊維がポリエステルやビニルエステルのよう な熱硬化性樹脂に浸される様に容器を含む。浸されたガラス繊維は硬 化及び成形型120にフィードされ、そこで熱硬化性樹脂で浸されたガラス繊維 (好ましくは夫々のロッドに対し二つ以上の繊維であることが好ましい)を加熱 、成形しプルトルージョン・キャストガラス繊維ロッドにする。ロッドは次いで 型60にフィードされ、引抜器80によって型60と、冷却及び成形器70を通 しプラスチックと共に引抜かれる。 杭として使用するためには、構造部材は典型的に径が10−16インチ、長さ が30〜80フィードの連続構造体である。

The present invention relates generally to an elongated structural member, and more particularly to an elongated structural member suitable for offshore pile construction. Traditionally, marine piles are made of steel, concrete or wood. Steel and concrete are non-heavy, expensive and do not have the elasticity to withstand use. In particular, steel corrodes quickly in the marine environment, wood corrodes quickly, and its effects are reduced by the attack of sea drilling organisms. In order to extend its service life, in particular the material is treated with preservatives such as creosote. However, creosote and other preservatives are harmful to the environment. Considering recent forest conservation efforts, it is not preferable to use timber piles. Plastic piles have been proposed. For example, Borzakian U.S. Pat. No. 5,051,285 discloses a plastic structural member suitable for use in a plastic pile. A steel pipe is placed in a mold and coated with thermoplastics, fillers and additives. The resin is cooled and the produced plastic member is removed from the mold. This method has many drawbacks. Offshore piles, in particular, vary in length from 10 to 80 feet depending on the application and can be as small as 3 inches in diameter, resulting in economically expensive pile producers, but do different types of moulds be produced? Or one of the molds must be used to make piles of constant length and diameter and connect them vertically to make the desired pile. Also, the use of molds limits the length of the pile that can be manufactured. Inside the mold, the plastic must be in a fluid state during the entire process of filling the mold. As the length and size of the structural member increase, it becomes difficult to maintain the flow state. Moreover, it is difficult to control the adhesion of the plastic to the pipe so that the plastic melt is introduced from one end of the elongated mold and sticks to the metal core pipe at the other end which is at least 10 feet away. It is believed that the fabricated structural members include hollow portions or at least weak portions at the interfaces of the melt flows which are different over time. Since the length of the members is limited by the size of the mould, the structural members disclosed by Borzakian must be joined to other structural members in order to create a pile of the length required for the supported application. . Therefore, there is a need for a pile structure that is corrosion resistant or antiseptic, has a perfect structural method, elasticity, and strength that is favorable for side impacts without passing through marine organisms, is environmentally safe, and preserves natural resources. There is also a need for a structure of piles that can be of a desired size without the need for multiple molds of various sizes or that does not require longitudinal cross-sections of several piles. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention is directed to providing an elongated structural member that essentially eliminates one or more of the problems that arise from the limitations or drawbacks of the prior art. Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be apparent from the description or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objectives and other advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by the method and apparatus particularly pointed out in the written description and claims as well as the appended drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The elongated structural member of the present invention comprises a continuously extruded plastic body having one or more reinforcing elements disposed within the plastic body. The structure is continuously produced by extruding molten plastic around a reinforcing element and cooling to form the plastic into the desired shape and size. The present invention is suitable for many applications such as marine piles, telephone piles, railroad sleepers and the like. The preferred embodiments of the invention described in the accompanying drawings will be described. An exemplary implementation of the invention is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and is designated by the reference numeral 10. As embodied herein and shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, elongated structural member 10 includes a plastic body 12 having a central longitudinal axis 14, first and second ends 16, 18 and an outer surface 20. Have. The plastic body 12 is preferably a suitable thermoplastic such as high density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LL DPE), polypropylene (PP) or thermoplastic polyester (PET). Virgin or recycled thermoplastics, which are preferably plastic matrices made from, can be used. Recycled resin is easily available, low cost, and preferable in terms of performance. Such recycled thermoplastics are obtained from consumer or industrial waste. Various additives can be mixed to improve the performance of the structural member. Additives are antioxidants, colorants UV absorbers, fungicides and compatibilizers. Fillers are preferably added to reduce the amount of plastic required, provide stiffness, and sometimes improve performance. Fillers include calcium carbonate, talc, silica wood chips, sawdust, crushed foam scrap and crushed paper. The plastic, matrix is preferably foamed to reduce its density by 50-70%. Foaming is done in one or more chemical blowing agents in a plastic matrix. The chemical blowing agent reacts with heat in the extruder to generate gas such as steam, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and the like. Typical chemical blowing agents are, as is well known, for example azodicarbon amide or a mixture of citric acid and sodium bicarbonate. Physical blowing agents such as nitrogen gas, carbon dioxide, alkanes, chlorinated hydrocarbons may also be used. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a plurality of reinforcing elements 24 are arranged in the plastic body 12 substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis 14 of the structural member. It is preferred to use at least 4 reinforcing elements. The diameter and composition of the reinforcing elements are selected to provide the desired reinforcement and corrosion resistance. The reinforcing element is preferably a steel or fiberglass rod. A lever used to reinforce concrete can also be used. Steel levers are relatively inexpensive and have good performance. Steel levers can be coated with well-known protective coatings such as polyester (eg, 3M Scotchcoat) to increase corrosion resistance. Pultruded glass fiber rods or levers may be used for optimized corrosion resistance and metal-free (eg non-magnetic) construction. Glass fibers are continuously Pultrusion cast into a matrix of thermoplastic resin such as polyester or vinyl ester. The stiffening element 24 is placed in a location within the plastic body that best contributes to the strength and stability of the structural member without exposing it to the environment by scrapping or cutting the structural member. The stiffening element is preferably placed at least 1 inch from the outer surface of the structure as a safe place to avoid exposure to environmental elements. The stiffening elements are also preferably arranged concentrically around a central longitudinal axis 14 as shown in FIG. The structural member preferably includes a central longitudinal hole 26 extending along the length of the plastic member. The central hole reduces the amount of plastic required and allows the jet of water to strike structural members into the ground to act as a pile. As shown in FIG. 5, the metal pipe 28 may be attached to the inner wall of the vertical hole, but the central hole and the metal pipe are not essential for carrying out the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in another implementation of the invention, the elongated structural member 10 includes a skin layer 22 formed on the outer surface 20 of the plastic body. The skin layer is composed of a non-foaming plastic, matrix, which provides a structurally protective skin and allows the plastic body to be foamed to a lower density than if the entire structure were foamed. The skin layer matrix may also contain additives such as UV absorbers, antioxidants or fungicides instead of being incorporated into the plastic body. The apparatus for manufacturing the elongated structural member of the present invention is as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, and includes an extruder 50, a mold 60, a molding and cooler 70, an extractor 80 and a cutter 90. Additional coolers 95 may be included before and after the extractor to further cool the plastic member. The elongated structural member is made by feeding the extruder 50 with a mixture of the desired resin, filler, additives and blowing agent. The extruder melts and mixes the composition to form a melt 52, which is placed in a mold 60. FIG. 7 is a sectional view of the mold 60. It is fed into the inner wall portion 61 of the mold 60 by an inner wall portion 61 that receives the molten plastic and the reinforcing element, a hollow central mandrel 62, a lateral opening connected to the extruder 50 and a feeding device (not shown). It is shown as a crosshead type with a plurality of ports parallel to the central mandrel 62 for receiving and supporting the reinforcing elements. If the outer skin layer is to be made of a plastic body, the second extruder 54 is connected to the second lateral opening 68 of the mold. When the molten plastic first enters the mold, a stopper (not shown) to seal the inner wall portion 61 and accumulate the molten plastic to fill the mold and provide a preliminary shape prior to cooling and molding 70. May be used. The stopper is moved at a constant rate through the cooling and molding machine until the first portion of the structural member has cooled and hardened. The melt 52 encased in the mold surrounds the reinforcing element and foams from the outside to the inside to provide a dense foam to the skin layer 22. It is preferred that the foam density be low towards the center of the structure and higher near the outer surface in order to provide the reinforcing element with optimal assistance to contribute to the strength of the entire structure. The foam density is substantially uniform along the longitudinal axis of the structure. A central mandrel keeps the center of the structural material hollow. Air can be pumped inside the structural member through the central mandrel for better cooling and shaping. The central mandrel is preferably tapered over the entire length of the mold and cooler / molder, as shown in FIG. 7, to facilitate formation of the central hole. The central mandrel then cools the plastic near the portion of the central bar across the cooling and molding machine 70 by circulating a liquid such as water through the inlet pipe 72 and the outlet pipe 74, creating a central hole. The center rod is preferably coated with Teflon to reduce friction. In this case, the plastic structure is more dense around the central hole than a similar structure with a central hole made of air. The extruded structure is cooled and shaped in a cooling and shaping machine 70 which utilizes vacuum to maintain its shape. The cooler and shaper is a tubular heat exchanger that includes an opening of a predetermined cross section that produces a structural member of the desired cross section (eg, conical for ocean piles, right angle for sleepers). The structural member is withdrawn from the mold and the cooler and shaper at a constant controlled rate with an extractor, such as a catapillar extractor. The speed of the extractor is controlled to ensure that the plastic mixture foams well and to prevent deformation of the structural members caused by excessive backpressure generated in the mold. When the structural member is sufficiently cooled, the cutter 90 cuts it to a desired length. If a pull-truded fiberglass rod or lever is used as the stiffening element, the system shown in FIG. 6 provides an additional means for expanding the plowtruded fiberglass rod before it is fed into the mold 60 as shown in FIG. Including various parts. Foaming the pultruded fiberglass rods just prior to placing them in the mold increases efficiency by reducing the storage space for the reinforcing elements and continuously feeding the reinforcing elements into the mold. As shown in FIG. 8, the glass fiber feeder 100 includes a reel and a spindle for feeding each fiber into the resin bath 110. The number of reels can be varied so that each reinforcing element is equipped with one or more spindles to fit into the elongated structural member. The resin bath 110 includes a container such that each glass fiber is immersed in a thermosetting resin such as polyester or vinyl ester. The soaked glass fibers are fed to a curing and molding tool 120, where thermosetting resin soaked glass fibers (preferably two or more fibers for each rod) are heated and shaped. Pluto Rouge cast fiberglass rod. The rods are then fed to the mold 60 and drawn with the plastic through the mold 60 and the cooler and molder 70 by the extractor 80. For use as a stake, the structural member is a continuous structure, typically 10-16 inches in diameter and 30-80 feeds in length. With the continuous extrusion method, the pile length produced in an overall manner can be any length. Further, the diameter and cross-sectional shape of the pile can be changed by changing the mold, cooling and shaping machine. Hypothetical Examples The following are hypothetical examples of implementation of the invention. The following components are mixed as a thermoplastic resin mixture. Feeding the one part into the hopper of extruder 4 1/2 of the diameter at 500 lb / hr of LDPE 75 parts HDPE mixture (weight) of 25 parts (by weight). In a popper 1.2 parts blowing agent Hydrocerol BIH-40 (Boehringer Ingelheim) and 2.0 parts carbon black (colorant) are added. The mixture is extruded through a side opening of the crosshead type. One part of the mixture is fed at 50 lb / hr into the hopper of a 1 1/2 inch diameter extruder, where there are 2.0 parts carbon black and 0.8 parts. Add some UV absorber (eg, Tinuvin 327 from Ciba Geigy). Large extruder melt enters the crosshead from, the foamed extrudate enters the melt mold from expanded type 1/2 inches 8 co steel lever surrounds small extruder size being fed from the rear of the Is extruded with a uniform thickness of about 3/8 inch around the outer surface of the. Water is introduced to cool the foamed extrudate through the center mandrel of the mold and create a hollow core having a 2 inch diameter. The inner diameter of the mold is 13.75 inches so that the outer diameter of the structural member is about 13 inches after the plastic shrinks upon cooling. As soon as the structural member exits the mold, it is sent to a forming and cooling machine with an inner diameter of 13.75 inches. The molding and cooling device is cooled with circulating water and its internal surface is coated with Teflon to reduce friction. The mold and cooler is 24 inches long. The structural member exiting the cooler and former passes through a 24 foot long tank where it is supported and cooled by providing a spray of water. The extrudate is sufficiently cooled and drawn at a rate of 1/3 feet per minute in an extractor consisting of 6 endless belts 60 ° apart. After the structural member of sufficient length is manufactured, it is cut to the desired length (eg 70 feet) and further cooled with water. The density of the foam matrix of the plastic body is 0.45 grams per cubic centimeter. (Double expansion) Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9, the pile is fitted with a flat cap 30 at one end for pile driving and a conical cap 32 at the other end for facilitating entry into the ground during pile driving. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the elongated structural member of the present invention without departing from the meaning and scope of the invention. It is therefore intended that the invention cover the modifications and variations or equivalents thereof falling within the scope of the appended claims.
